tartofmidlothian Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I suspect we won't be making it past them if we get through. Founded in Russia in 2008. Promoted in 2009 then to the top division in 2010, despite not finishing in a promotion place - they took the place of clubs who were kicked out for financial irregularities. In 2014/15 they got to the Europa group stage after knocking out Real Sociedad. They finished third in a group with Everton, Lille and Wolfsburg (1-0 home win against Everton, 1-1 draws with Everton away and both Lille legs, beaten by Wolfsburg 2-4 at home and 1-5 away). In 2015-16 they got to the group stage again after a 5-3 agg win over Slovan Bratislava. They finished top of their group after wins against Dortmund, PAOK and Gabala at home, and an away win against Gabala, draw against PAOK and defeat to Dortmund. Sparta Prague put them out of the last 32 4-0 on aggregate. No mugs. The away leg will be really tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 All good, need to add pumped out in the 3rd round by Hearts in 2016/17, with Hearts going on to the group stage and becoming domestic champions for the first time in over 50 years and breaking the of strangle hold on Scotlands top League.

Jeff Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Sigurdson and Granqvist at the back. No mugs whatsoever. I do feel if we do show up at tynie in the first leg we could maybe catch them cold. Won't be easy tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammy T Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 We need to roast them at Tynecastle to have any chance. Sell it out and go for it. Absolutely no point going across there to defend a 1 goal lead. No lose game that first game as we will rightly be expected to do feck all.

Been to Russia before but not to Kasnodar and no problem with locals if you are Scottish as they have a great affinity with Rabbie Burns and St Andrew. Following European Championships best not to display Union Jacks.
